It's not sarcasm when I ask whether 99.9% of those involved in masticating these events ever mentally left the school yard where they regurgitated their parents' words as their own absolutism.

It is now sarcasm when I state that the US needs, absolutely crying requires, an adult and responsible and honest press. It is not sarcasm when I say that what we have is quite close to the polar opposite of what any democracy would need.

I emphasize the lack of sarcasm in these statements because I am often being sarcastic or at least facetious. The lack of a responsibly adult press is more damaging to our country than anything terrorists can throw at us.

Has the US really such a need to just feel protected (as it's clear that the protection is a fantasy) that they willingly turn over their country to a juvenile president with delusions of competence and accept their news massaged by entertainers masquerading as journalists, analysts and commentators? I don't know why I present this as a question as it has already happened.
